■M'4l I■ i 1 ..Ri11,..—..■■-..■OWW.-| Christians Differ Lesson for October U, 1958 •« I WILL GIVE YOU the secret of 1 true happiness.'* If a man starts talking in that vein he will have listeners at once. Jesus began his famous, sermon on ths

mount with thgt magic word “happy.” It its unfortunate that most of our English translations use the woyd •’blessed” because for most people “blessed’’ is a church-word. They don’t know whether they

Dr Foreman

want to be blessed or not; they have no doubt about wanting to be happy. It is twide unfortunate that Jesus* meaning has been hidden’ under an even more forbidding word, “Beatitudes." What we have here is a series of one-sen-tence pictures of truly'happy persons. • • • What Christians Are .. In these sentences Jesus sketchei the kind of person who “has,” that is to say, belongs to, the-Kingdom of Heaven\ If God were forced to throw away some of the human race and keep others, these are the people he would keep. Jesus ip. these short sentences is picturing the Christ-like. He is not talking about what they believe but about what they are. There is all the difference in the vyorld between Jesus’ idea of a Christian and Some of the popular ideas tpday. For example, many persons think of a Christian as a person who keeps a certain number of rules, or believes a certain number ol things, or belongs to a peculiar Kind of club caPed the Church. But a club member may be exactly like ths people on the outside except that he has paid his dues ind thev haven’t: and some church members are just like non-.hurcb rb.etnbers except that they have \ paid their dues (or at least owe th-mi while' the outsiders have n<>t binding True Happiness Let us venture to put the meaning of Jesus into simple words of today. The following sentences are meant to suggest only some of the means wrapped in these truths-for- \ life. . D 9 you want to know the secret pf happiness? Jesus aSks. I will tell you. The happy are those v. no know how little they know how far from good they are. ; are the real .people, God’s people. The happy are not always the gay; the happy are the serious, those who feel a sincere sorrow for their sins and shortcomings, sorry enough to turn away fr im them. The happy are those who do' not insist on their own 'rights, |who carry no chip on their shoulders, who are more interested in justice for others than for themselves. After the proud have destroyed the proud, these are the people to whom the earth belongs. The happy people are thpse who wgnt to be good more than anything else in the world. This is the one desire that God always fulfils. Happy people are those that find their happiness in helping others; these are the people who will find helpers in their own time of need. Happy people are those who ar< pure, not in act alone but in inner thoughts and desires. They are the ones who have any eyes for God. people are not only peaceable themselves but help others to live in peace as well. These are th|e people who are really God-like. Hhppy people are not always free from trouble; but their troubles have been caused chiefly not by their sins but by the fact that t|iey are good. They have their heaven m their hearts. -i « , ■!.••• ■ | ' Christians Are Different You are happy yourselves (Jesus concludes) when the hard things said about you are lies. You are happy when you suffer as I suffer, on behalf of others. God will reward you; you belong to the glorious company- of the best men of all time, for there never was a good friend of God who was not misunderstood and slandered. Jesus never explained all he meant. (“He who has ears, let him hear,’\he used to say.) But whatever may be puzzling, one thing is clear: Christians are different. If a man fits these descriptions ever part?way. he is noticeably different from th* run-of-mine human briing. We cannot water down Jesus’ ideas, tor they are really*radical. We should not try to make it sound .easy; he did not. But let us be as \ trank as he was: Jf you wamt to [find neal happiness, if you want to belong to Gdd’s people, if you wanit to. be a real Christian, this is it.
